## Text

(a) It shall be unlawful for an entity or individual to willfully and knowingly, or recklessly, submit information or data as part of the Broadband Data Collection that is materially inaccurate or incomplete with respect to the availability or the quality of broadband internet access service. Such action may lead to enforcement action and/or penalties as set forth in the Communications Act and other applicable laws. (b) Failure to make the Broadband Data Collection filing in accordance with the Commission's rules and the instructions to the Broadband Data Collection may lead to enforcement action pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable law. (c) For purposes of this section, “materially inaccurate or incomplete” means a submission that contains omissions or incomplete or inaccurate information that the Commission finds has a substantial impact on its collection and use of the data collected in order to comply with the requirements of 47 U.S.C. 641-646. (d) Providers must file corrected data when they discover inaccuracy, omission, or significant reporting error in the original data that they submitted, whether through self-discovery, the crowdsource process, the challenge process, or otherwise (which does not include audits and verifications, which are specifically addressed in § 1.7009(e)). (1) Providers must file corrections within 30 days of their discovery of incorrect or incomplete data; (2) The corrected filings must be accompanied by the same types of certifications that accompany the original filings as set forth in § 1.7004(d); (e) For adverse audit or verification findings, the Commission shall modify or remove some or all of the provider's location or area data from the National Broadband Map as needed to effectuate the adverse audit or verification findings after the provider is notified of an adverse audit or verification finding concerning such location or area data.
